CHEZ CALABRESE
Resident DJ, MACHO
CHEZ CALABRESE is a Toronto-based DJ/producer crafting physical, hypnotic house with tech- and tribal-leaning grooves. Known for patient builds, long blends, and drum-forward drops, he programs a room with precision, pushing crowds from come up to release without losing the thread. On Canada’s Gay and after-hours circuit he owns and plays Macho Toronto and has played for Prism, Comfort Zone, Pitbull, and BUNKER, among others. His recent live recordings capture the same narrative arc and club weight he brings to the booth. Whether opening with a slow burn or driving a peak slot, Chez keeps the floor locked on energy, tension, and release.
PUMPLOVE
PUMPLOVE is the House Music alter ego of pure, unapologetic energy: where the dance floor becomes a temple and the beat, a sermon. Blending the sensuality of deep, dirty basslines with the euphoria of a true spiritual revival, a PUMPLOVE set moves bodies and souls alike. Every performance is a journey of sweat, seduction, and liberation - multiple styles of beats and vocals all layered together to lift you higher before pulling you excitedly back into the dirty dark to do it again.
Known for his growing catalogue of original songs (‘MASSIVE’, ‘POSITION’ and ‘I WANNA (FUCK U)’) and official remixes for multiple artists, PUMPLOVE is a Toronto based music producer who brings both joy and excitement to every DJ set. By blending original edits, mashups and remixes that you can’t find anywhere else with his own original songs, PUMPLOVE creates a unique and truly moving musical journey.
RAFA
Brazilian-born and now Toronto-based, RAFA is a genre-bending DJ blending techno-funk, funk-house, girlie pop, dark house, and underground groove. They got their start in Halifax, quickly becoming a fixture in the city’s queer nightlife-holding down sets as a Rumours house DJ, headlining TailSpin, voicing the world of HEDON, and sharing decks with international talent. A core member of the PourquoiPas Music & Art Collective, RAFA brings curated chaos, deep rhythm, and sweaty joy to every set.
